Friday April 1st, 2011 – A number of prisoners at Rajai Shahr prison have added their condolences to the hundreds of others sent to Mir Hossein Mousavi and his family on the occasion of the passing of his father, Mir Esmail Mousavi.

According to Jaras, the content of this condolence letter is as follows:

For he is God and to him we shall all return,

To our honorable brother Mir Hossein Mousavi,

We have been informed that while you continue to live under an illegal and non religious house arrest, the pain associated with the loss of your father has now also been added to the pain you have suffered because of the loss of our innocent martyrs and the incarceration, torture and exile of your friends, colleagues, companions and supporters.

We prisoners determined to defend the rights of the people of our nation, in addition to extending our condolences to you and your family, ask God Almighty for mercy, forgiveness and the highest ranks for a faithful, courageous and virtuous father whose hard work and efforts gifted our land with a noble man such as yourself, a soldier of holy war [Mojahed] such as your sister, and the Mousavi martyrs. We also humbly ask God to provide you and your beloved wife who has always been your loyal companion during difficult times, with patience and rewards.
